About this campground

The campground provides essential amenities, including fire rings at each site and pit toilets. While there is no water source on-site, the allure of the spectacular vistas compensates for the basic facilities. Open year-round, the campground provides a unique experience in every season. Accessible via a bumpy dirt road, the site is not snowplowed during winter. However, the snow-packed road remains traversable, with many adventurous vehicles leaving their tracks. Embrace the rugged charm of Zapata Falls Campground as you connect with nature amid stunning landscapes.
